WASHINGTON POST - Monsignor Jeffrey Burrill, former top administrator of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, has sued Grindr for failing to protect his data, leading to his outing and resignation in 2021. Burrill claims Grindr did not inform users that their data could be accessed by vendors, which led to his personal information being exposed by a Catholic media site. The lawsuit, filed in California Superior Court, seeks damages and an order to prevent Grindr from releasing user data without notice. Grindr has denied the allegations, stating they are mischaracterizations of their data practices.
